Remember when you were young,

You shone like the sun.
  D   D/C♯     Bm  Bm/A  E
Shine on you crazy      diamond.

Now there's a look in your eyes,
F                         A
Like black holes in the sky.
  D   D/C♯     Bm  Bm/A  E
Shine on you crazy      diamond.
          F♯m
You were caught in the crossfire
     F♯m/F
Of childhood and stardom,
  F♯m/E              B-9
Blown on the steel breeze.
 D                      D♯dim
Come on you target for faraway laughter,

You cried for the moon.
  D   D/C♯     Bm  Bm/A  E

Threatened by shadows at night,
F                   A
And exposed in the light.
  D   D/C♯     Bm  Bm/A  E
Shine on you crazy      diamond.
          F♯m
Well you wore out your welcome
      F♯m/F
With random precision,
 F♯m/E              B-9
Rode on the steel breeze.
 D                      D♯dim
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner and shine!



 F♯m
Nobody knows where you are, 
F                A
How near or how far. 
  D   D/C♯     Bm  Bm/A  E
Shine on you crazy      diamond.

Pile on many more layers 
F                         A
And I'll be joining you there. 
  D   D/C♯     Bm  Bm/A  E
Shine on you crazy      diamond.
           F♯m
And we'll bask in the shadow 
    F♯m/E
Of yesterday's triumph, 
     F♯m/E              B-9
And sail on the steel breeze. 
 D                          D♯dim
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,

Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
